But as the leader of her werewolf pack in the absence of a surviving alpha male, Mattie Bainbridge was required to select a mate at the next Dark Moon Gathering, and Anthony Ricci was just too risky a choice.

Anthony was determined to convince Mattie to choose him...and when it came to seduction, he had a limitless bag of tricks.
